CHANGES TO THE SCHUDULE

Whilst a daily program for the swims and lectures are scheduled for the duration of the trip, conditions beyond our control, for example the weather will dictate where and when activities are undertaken. Our coaches will determine if we can proceed with the swim and at which location on daily basis.

FITNESS AND HEALTH

You are required to have experience in open water swimming in the ocean of at least 10Km. Swimmers should also be competent to swim for 4 hours in cold water and have sound understanding of nutrition required for long swims. Swimming requires a certain degree of fitness and personal health. If you have any doubt about your health please consult your doctor. You must provide us with details of any existing medical or physical condition.

TRAVEL INSURANCE

Whilst there is a wide range of insurance policies, it is essential to choose one that covers you not only for illness, hospitalisation, accidents, emergencies and flights cancellations but also covers you for open water swimming. Swim Adventures will not be held responsible for any damages or losses to your health or properties. All claims and legalities must be dealt directly with the Insurance Company.
